char - char function

### Calling Sequence

  `y=char( x)`
  `y=char(st1,st2,st3,....)`

### Parameters

- `x`: a cell of strings arrays, or an array of ascii codes
- `st1,st2,st3`: strings arrays
- `y:`a strings vector(column)

### Description

`One input argument :`

Given `a cell of strings arrays x`, this function returns a strings vector `y` in which the rows are the components of the strings cell

Given `an array of ascii codes x,` this function returns a strings array `y` corresponding into ascii codes. If dims (`x`)=[n1,n2,n3,n4,....],then returned value have same size as input value instead of second dims, dims(`y`)=[n1,n3,n4,..]

`More than one input argument :`

Given `strings arrays` `st1,st2,st3,...`, this function returns a vector of strings in which the rows are the components of `st1,st2,st3,...` `In the vector` `y` the length of all strings sti is completed by blanks, to have the same length than the lengthmax of sti.//

### Examples

    //Example with a hypermatrix of ascii codes :
    x=hypermat([4,2,3],61:84);
    y=char(x)
    size(x)
    size(y)

    //Example with more than one argument :
    st1="zeros";
    st2=["one","two"];
    st3=["three"];
    y=char(st1,st2,st3)
    size(y)
    //all strings rows are completed by 'blanks' to have the same length : 6
    length(y)
